I live less than 5 minutes walk away, I must walk round with blinkers on, hadn't noticed any increase in traffic to and from the site.

You wanna get out more, young lady! I hadn't been over for a while and I could still see at least half the buildings last time i was over there.

The concrete was ground down on site and then carried out in the turn ups of Mr Grape's slacks so you wouldn't really have noticed much traffic
My slacks never have had, and never will have, turn ups! I have stlye - well, my style anyway.....not including slacks, or chinos come to think of it!

My dad's first job, god rest his soul, wracking my brain for what it was then! :xd: Could have been BRC, will have to ask Mum!

Dormans Diesels she reliably informs me. Did his apprenticeship there in the 40's!
Today? still loads of flat concrete on the site, would be easy for the brickies, but the lawns will have to be Astro Turf or 3G! ;)
